“Through my art, I share what I see and feel—moments of hope, humanity, and the beauty of life. I hope you find a story that speaks to you.”
“For me, sketching is a way of noticing—capturing the quiet presence of a person, a moment, or a story. My work is rooted in life as I see it, shaped by expressions, light, and the natural world. Through every piece, I try to bring out a sense of warmth and connection, letting the details speak for themselves.”
